WARNING

Properly installed, operated and maintained this

appliance will not emit fumes into the room but

occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling

may occur.

Persistent fume emission is potentially

dangerous and must not be tolerated.

If fume emission persists:

• Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

• Leave the room.

• Allow fire to burn out or safely dispose of fuel

from the appliance.

• Check for chimney blockage and clean if

required.

• Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the

emission has been identified and corrected.

• If necessary seek expert advice.

• All open flued appliances can be affected by

temporary atmospheric conditions which may

allow fumes to enter the house. Because of

this an electronic carbon monoxide detector

conforming to the latest edition of BSEN50292

must be fitted in the same room as the

appliance. The existence of an alarm must not

be considered a substitute for ensuring regular

servicing and maintenance of the appliance

and chimney system.

IF THE ALARM SOUNDS FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ABOVE.

Getting Started

2. Using the Appliance for the First Time

2.1 To allow the appliance to settle, and fixing glues and paint

to fully cure, operate the appliance at a low temperature for

first few days.

2.2 Do not touch the paint during the first period of use.

2.3 During this time the appliance may give off some unpleasant

odours. Keep the room well ventilated to avoid a build-up of

fumes.

2.4 Please be aware that, during use, rope seals may discolour.

This is normal.

3. Recommended Fuels

User Instructions

*In the U.K:

• Ring the Solid Fuel Association advice line on

0845 601 4406 for details

• Visit their web site at www.solidfuel.co.uk

5.3 To create an open stack for top down lighting:

1. Place two medium sized logs parallel on the base of

the firebox.

2. Place two smaller logs on top running parallel across

the bottom logs.

3. Continue to build the stack using smaller logs and

place firelighters in the centre.

4. Finish the stack by adding two further logs and placing

firelighters on top. Add extra smaller kindling if desired.

5.4 Light the upper firelighters. This will create a flame that will

ignite the logs/ kindling whilst warming the flue to accelerate

the flue draw, see Diagram 9.

5.5 Adjust the operating air controls to the maximum, or

start-up, setting and close the door.

5.6 Leave the fire to establish and develop a glowing firebed

(this may take 30 to 45 minutes or more in some cases).

4.3 Iftted,theSmokeControlkitisattachedtothefrontofthe

appliance via 6 screws. The door must be carefully removed

totakeoffthesuppliedpanelandttheSmokeControl

plate, see Diagram 6.

Take care when manoeuvering over the air controls and

riddling handle (multi-fuel version only).

Wood version shown

Screws

This will limit the movement of the Air Controls to ensure

the appliance operates in a manner that conforms to the

emissions standards for a Smoke Control Area.

4.4 To meet the requirements of a Smoke Control Area the

appliance MUST be operated correctly in order to minimise

the amount of smoke produced.

If these models are installed outside of a Smoke

Control Area then fitting the smoke control kit is not

necessary.

Fitting the smoke control kit should only be done

by a suitably qualified installer and must be done at

the time of installation.

These instructions must be left with the User.

5. Lighting the Appliance

5.1 For best results set air controls as shown, see Diagram 7.

Air Wash/ Secondary

Control: Fully Open

Primary Air: Fully Open

5.2 If the appliance has been previously used rake any ash

remaining from the previous burn level in the firebox.

Approximately 25mm of ash can be left for a good base for

starting the new fire. Take care as hot embers can remain in

the fuel bed for a long time after the stove was last used.

User Instructions

Refuelling

6.4 Open the Primary and Airwash/secondary air controls fully.

Rake the embers evenly over the rebed to establish a

glowing rebed. If the rebed is low add a small amount

of kindling wood to help re-establish the re.

Stack the logs in an open arrangement, see Diagram 11.

Compact Stacking

Open Stacking

Open stacking allows oxygen to easily reach every part of

there.

 Compactstackingwillmakethewoodburnslowerasre

can only reach the outside of the wood. This will cause the

retosmoulderandproducesmoke.

6.5 After refuelling:

Burn the new logs at a high temperature for a few

minutes before closing the Primary Air control. Adjust

the burn rate using the Airwash control.

Do not close the air controls until the re is burning

well.

6.6 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.

6.7 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash/

Secondary air control closed for long periods of time. This

reduces the glass cleaning effect, causes tars and creosotes

tobuild-upintheapplianceanduesystemandwillproduce

excessive amounts of smoke.

6.8 When in use, running the appliance at a high temperature

for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.

6.9 When running the appliance refuel little and often for

clean, efcient burning.

6.10 Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).

A bright and clean rebox indicates the appliance is

burning well.

6.11 Do not burn continuously with the door open.

5.7 Once the fire has established refuel as described in

Section 6.

5.8 Close the door and follow the instructions for Running the

Appliance.

Do not run with the door slightly open except for initial

lighting as this could cause over-firing and damage the

appliance.

If fitted with an external air kit do not run at anytime

with the door open.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH

THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG

PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-

FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

6. Running the Appliance

Burning Wood

6.1 Close the Primary air control and use the Airwash/

Secondary air control to control the burn rate when

appliance is at operating temperature, see Diagram 10.

Primary Air: Closed

Air Wash/ Secondary Control: Adjust Burn Rate

Min

Max

Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).

It is recommended to regularly check there is no ash build

up in the primary air holes in the back brick. This can be

easily removed with a soft brush.

6.2 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash/

Secondary Air Control closed for long periods of time. This

reduces the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and causes

tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue

system.

6.3 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature

for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH

THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG

PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-

FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

User Instructions

Care & Maintenance

Burning Solid Fuel

6.12 To burn wood and smokeless fuels a multi-fuel kit must be

tted.

Only for use with recommended fuels, (see User

Instructions, Section 3).

6.13 Allowtheretobecomeestablishedbeforeaddingthesolid

fuel, see section 3.

Refuelling

6.14 De-ash the grate before re-fuelling (see User Instructions,

Section 9).

Open the Primary Air Control fully to establish a glowing

bed before adding new fuel.

6.15 Add the correct amount of fuel, see Section 3.

6.16 Close the door immediately after refuelling.

Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes before

adjusting the Primary Air Control to the desired setting.

 Refuellittleandoftenforclean,efcientburning.

When burning solid fuel more primary air will increase the

heat output and burn the fuel more quickly.

A small amount of Airwash can sometimes help to keep the

glasscleanbutwillreduceefciency.

6.17 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.

6.18 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air

Control on a low combustion setting for long periods of time.

This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and

causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and

uesystem.

6.19 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature for

a short period reduces tars and creosotes.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH

THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN FOR LONG

PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-

FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

6.20 Only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in

closed appliances must be burned in this appliance.

6.21 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other

petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product

guarantee.

Shut Down

6.22 If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Stovax do not

recommend shutting down the air controls completely

unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see Section 11

for advice). Closing the controls during the burning process

will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of

gasses that could ignite dangerously.

6.23 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some

flame within the firebox.

6.24 If it is necessary to shut down the appliance then run on a

high setting until all of the fuel has been burnt before closing

the air controls.

7. Woodburning Conversion Kit

10. Over-Firing

10.1 Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for long

periods or over-firing can occur.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG PERIODS

OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-FIRING.

10.2 Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the

appliance and invalidate the product warranty.

Care & Maintenance

11. Chimney Fire

11.1 If a chimney fire occurs:

— Shut all air controls immediately.

— Evacuate the building.

— Call the fire brigade.

— Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe.

11.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:

a) It has been inspected by a registered installer*,

confirming the appliance is safe to use.

b) The chimney system has been inspected and swept by a

chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound

and free from obstruction*.

c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only

genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep your appliance in

safe, efficient working order.

12. General Cleaning

12.1 Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in

periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance

will help give many years of safe use.

12.2 Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.

12.3 Clean regularly, according to level of use.

12.4 Remove the ash completely

(see User Instructions, Section 9).

12.5 Check internal components for damage - grates, bricks,

baffles - and for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris

above the flue baffle (this can be found in the upper part of

the firebox). Use a torch if necessary.

12.6 If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue

baffle either:

— Arrange for the chimney to be swept

(see User Instructions, Section 14).

only) see page 43/ INFO (Republic of Ireland).

Care & Maintenance

13. Cleaning Glass

13.1 Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system

and good quality fuel.

13.2 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.

Before undertaking this operation allow appliance to cool

fully. Do not clean hot glass.

13.3 On appliances with printed glass do not use cleaning

agents that have a high alkaline or acidic content, for

example Stovax Gel Cleaner, these are aggressive

cleaning agents designed to be used with heavily

stained clear glass. On printed glass surfaces, use

Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) which is better

formulated for this application.

13.4 Before applying a cleaning agent remove any dust and loose

soot with a damp cloth.

13.5 Use an appropriate glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning fluid to

a cloth before rubbing onto the glass.

Apply carefully and do not apply excessively. Try to prevent

any run off which could soak into the rope seals around the

edge of the glass.

Soot can also contain acidic particles that can cause

corrosive damage to printed glass.

13.6 Remove dirt with a moist cloth and buff dry.

13.7 Some types of wood can cause a white residue to form

on the glass.

If this occurs it should be cleaned off at least once a

week during periods of heavy usage.

If the liquid cleaning agents recommended do not

remove this residue Stovax offer a dry cleaning pad

which will help remove heavy stains.

13.8 Before relighting the appliance ensure the glass is fully dried.

If the rope seal has absorbed excess cleaning agent it

is advisable to replace the rope as soon as possible to

preserve the printed finish of the glass.

14. Chimney Sweeping

14.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the

chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a

year by a qualified chimney sweep*.

If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year,

or it is used to burn wood, more frequent sweeping is

recommended.

The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of

the heating season.

14.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance

flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.

14.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not

possible to sweep through the chimney.

14.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an open

fire it must be swept a second time within a month of regular

use after installation.

15. Care Of Stove

Stovax has a range of cleaning and maintenance products

and accessories to keep your appliance in good working

order. Your Stovax retailer can advise you on suitable items
